I received an email today from Get Your Sexy Back:

I wonder what partner merchants I could get discounts at?

I still don't really understand the appeal of the name Get Your Sexy Back. Maybe people lose their sexy by binge drinking? (I suppose they do, or maybe more than that... ahem).

Nevertheless, I wondered, so how again did I get on the GYSB mailing list? Oh I remember now.

In the large outdoor open area below the Central Library at NUS there are often mini fairs or bazaars. I suppose it's similar in concept to the various merchants you see passing through the SLC (at UW) throughout the term. Only, it's much better. They actually sell stuff you might be interested in buying ranging from electronics, to witty/cute/cool t-shirts, to Japanese snacks (yum, Pocky on the cheap). Occasionally they even have free stuff (the Milo truck is always a crowd favourite).

One day Jesse and I were passing by this area and we saw them giving out free cotton candy. Who could resist free cotton candy? So we get our cotton candy, and as we are about to walk away, someone motions to us informing us that we were actually only supposed to get free cotton candy after filling out some form. I can't even remember what I filled out on the form. All I remember was that it was something about supporting Get Your Sexy Back.

And so I guess penning down my information there entitled them to send me updates about the GYSB program.

Ok, that story didn't sound as interesting as it did in my head before typing it out.

Actually, the discount card sounds pretty cool. I just don't think I can use it here.

Oh anecdotes of NUS.
